I have downloaded and installed all of the prerequisite installation files for SharePoint 2016. I even installed AppFabric. Afterwards, when attempting to install SharePoint, I receive the following errors:

This product requires Windows Server AppFabric with all its features and re-run setup.
Windows Server AppFabric is not correctly configured. You should uninstall Windows Server AppFabric and reinstall it using the SharePoint Product Preparation tool.
It gets better:

I uninstalled AppFabric with an uninstall tool. However, it is still displayed in my Windows applications.
I ran SharePoint's prerequisiteinstaller.exe and placed the WindowsServerAppFabricSetup_x64 exe along with AppFabric1.1-RTM-KB2671763-x64-ENU exe in the prerequisiteinstallerfiles folder to no avail. The program eventually stops running during the execution of setup.
Can anyone provide a suggestion?
